This page contains an instructional activity to help you learn the Editor's toolbar.

Working on wikispaces is similar to working in Word. The best way to learn is to experiment with the features. Using the following instructions, you will experiment with the Editor's Toolbar:

  • Click on Edit (This button is located in different places on the page, depending on the theme you choose). For this theme, the button is located near the top right hand corner.

We will be going through the features of the editor's toolbar. To allow you to practice, we will be assigning each of you a number. Locate your number. Then starting on the left, click on the buttons in the Editor's toolbar to type in the following text as it is seen in the space to the right:
